crowned Miss Tourism Bulawayo has taken an open swipe at 'sugar
daddies' who target models and young girls. Speaking to reporters this

on the dangers of HIV and Aids and the risk of getting into
relationships with 'sugar daddies' during her reign.

"Young
girls must not be enticed by these old men with money. "They must learn

This
is despite some sordid rumours that she had in fact slept with her
cousin. Nadia said that she has more than a decade of experience in
modelling, having won more than three titles before. This was however
